Show Notes

On this special episode of LYLTalks, Lisa Anna Palmer hosts a guest panel comprised of inspiring women who are business and community leaders willing to share their insights about their lived experiences as women who are members of Black Communities in Canada and the US. This two-hour panel is moderated by Magdalene Cooman, and features Glodean Champion, Yvette Ashiri, and Kareen Aristide. Together, they have frank conversations about racism, discrimination, white privilege, white fragility, Black History, and how to be respectful allies in a way that honours Black Lives.
